Tony Z. October 18, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW In my last question I asked about removing the spider so I can replace it and the bearings and seal. My answer from you was to reove the bolt on the rotor assembly. I should have also said I already had the rotor ,stator ,and the bolt off. Could you please tell where the bolts are for the spider inside the inner tub or behind the rear cover? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Tony. You will need to remove the inner basket to replace the drum bearings and remove the spider shaft. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tony Z. October 17, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW I have all the bolts out of the rear cover. I,m trying to get the spider assembly out so I can replace the bearings and the spider. Are the bolts holding the spider in place located behind the rear cover or on the inside of the inner tub?
1 Answer Hello Tony. To remove the rotor AHL72914402. You will remove the bolt in the center of the rotor, and pull the rotor off the stator. These can be tight, because of the magnets holding them into place. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tony October 16, 2011 for Model Number WM0532HW I,m replacing the bearings. I have the rotor,stator off the rear cover that is over the inner and outer tubs. How does the cover and the spider come off the tubs? I have all the bolts out of the cover.
1 Answer Tony. The front tub half is held in place by bolts in the center circumference. Then your spin basket can be pulled out of the rear outer tub assy. Then remove the spider assy. and replace the spider. Part # is 4434ER0002H. You will need tub seal part # 4036ER4001B. Thank You. Read More...
Tony Z. October 10, 2011 for Model Number wm0532hw I,m replacing the bearings and seal. Could you please tell me the best way to get the old bearings and seal out? I would like to take it apart before I order the new parts so that if I need anything else I can place the order all at once. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hi Tony. The best way to remove the brg./seal is once you have the tub remove to tap them out from the outside as you have the tub turned bearing up facing you on the floor. You will need the spider assy. part # 4434ER0002H. 2- bearings part # 4280EN4001C (outer). The inner bearing is part # 4280EN4001F. Inner tub seal is part # 4036ER2004A. Tub seal parrt # 4036ER4001B. Remember to always use hot water and the tub cleaner tablet "Affresh" monthly to keep your unit running up to par.Part # W10549845. Thank you. Read More...
